We are currently seeking a University educated engineer who shall have
experience of instrument scientific data simulation and software development
and testing.
Location: Darmstadt, Germany
Start Date: As soon as Feasible
Closing date: 27 April 2012
TASKS:
The Candidate will be integrated into the Instrument Functional Chain
Engineering group of the MTG System Engineering team. The general task of
the Candidate will be to provide the instrument source and reference data
sets and use them with the MTG Payload Data Generator (PDG) to derive the
scenario data sets needed for system verification and ground segment
testing. In addition the Candidate will provide data sets in support of
level 1 and 2 algorithm development. The Candidate will also support the
procurement, verification and installation of the PDG at EUMETSAT.
In particular the tasks will include:
* Analysis of the Payload PDG and IQT IDS instrument and platform
models to ensure their representatively with respect to the needs of the
level 1 and 2 algorithm development and verification;
* Support to the definition and maintenance of PDG-GS and IQT-GS ICDs;
* Participation in the Instrument Functional Chain Engineering (IFCE)
group as the instrument data simulation expert;
* Liaise with the appropriate teams to identify the needs for test
data (scenario data sets) associated with the instrument functional chain
verification for the System, Ground Segment and Instrument Data Processing
Facility (IDPF);
* Assessment of the potential source data usable for the IQT and PDG
and of the ingestion process to obtain representative reference data sets
suitable for the planned test scenarios.
* Provision of the necessary source datasets needed to produce the
scenario data sets for System, Ground Segment and Instrument Data Processing
Facility (IDPF) verification;
* Maintenance of a test data register giving the characteristics of
each type of test data available in the MTG programme, including close
liaison with the MET division;
* Derivation of simplified instrument models providing basic test data
to assist in level 1 and 2 algorithm development before the availability of
the PDG and to check the implementation of the PDG/IQT instrument models;
* Support IV&V activities including preparation of IV&V plans;
* Participate in the PDG acceptance, verification and validation,
ensuring the integration of the PDG with the EUMETSAT Ground System.
Qualifications and Experience
* A University degree (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline;
* Experience of instrument scientific data simulation and software
development and testing.
Essential Skills
* Test data and test case management versus requirements
specification.
* Global standards for data, e.g.
* NetCDF-4, HDF-5, BUFR, GRIB
* CCSDS standards for data format representation
Desirable Skills
* Procurement of satellite instrument data simulators from industry,
including procurement reviews, monitoring, verification and testing.
* Design of satellite instrument data simulation systems and
acquisition of simulated satellite instrument data sets. The ability to
obtain a full system overview in the area of responsibility.
* Very good communication, presentation and listening skills.
* The ability to work as a trusted member of an extended team with
diverse areas of interest.
* Experience of satellite instrument data usage and processing.
* The ability to perform under high workloads.
* The ability to adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
* A high degree of autonomy and good analytical skills.
* Practical knowledge of as many as possible of the following will be
an advantage:
* Requirements specification, development, acquisition, testing,
integration, verification and commissioning/validation of satellite
radiometers and sounders.
* Rapid algorithm prototyping and test data generation.
* Tools supporting the above:
* Tool based requirements management (e.g. IBM DOORs)
* Production programming languages (e.g., C++, Java, XML)
* Prototyping tools (e.g., Python, IDL/PV-Wave)
